I’m sick of dudes derailing conversations about rape. They love focusing on grey areas or minority cases so they don’t have to deal with the fact that a) the overwhelmingly majority of rapes are men against women b) these men often get away with it if it’s reported c) society doesn’t care and d) fellow men are complicit in the entire process. I’m utterly fatigued by it. How hard is it to say that if you don’t know someone don’t take a chance that you’ll make them feel unsafe?

Hi, I'm Rachel Hills.

I'm a London-based (via Sydney, Australia) writer, researcher and contributor to publications including the Sydney Morning Herald, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, Marie Claire, The Atlantic, Girlfriend and more. I'm also writing a book about Gen Y, sex and identity. This is my blog.

I'd love to hear from you. Submit a question to my Ask Rachel column here, send me an email here, connect with me on Twitter here or find out more about my paid work at www.rachelhills.net.
